Summary
Madame Joyce is joined by the iconic Mariam Musa for an episode that covers Love Island, the UK's ongoing phone snatching crisis, BMW drivers, Maya Jama's new chapter and the kind of real talk that only happens when two women who genuinely have each other's back sit down and let it go.
We got into why Love Island might genuinely be the new industry cheat code, how reality TV stars are becoming some of the most recognisable faces in the UK, and the advice we’d give to the newest Love Island contestants before the internet gets to them

| 0:54.8 | Like there's something about the sun that just really does well for our skin. The melanin? Because we need vitamin D like we are deprived of it in the UK. So when it comes, we should just embrace it. You know most black people are vitamin D deficient. Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah, you need to go for shots and stuff and apparently |

| 1:43.7 | cars is different to whatever country you go to? |
| 1:45.6 | Yeah, I think so. In Nigeria, the AC is like, I feel like I'm in a fridge. Yeah. Their AC is rude. Yeah, it has to be because it's hitting like 40 degrees, 42 sometimes. State 9. Yeah, but today it's like 34 and I'm asking them to put on the AC and they're just blowing hot air back to me. |

Like, they're telling me I'm looking nice. But they love the fro. No, they do love the fro. This is why I say, what did they say? Hard wig soft life. Not to say that this is a hard wig. It's still bouncy, but you know what I mean? There's some texture to it. It's like energy. It's like high energy wigs. But they love it. They love it. Let's talk about our bank holiday guys.

People needed this. Yeah. People needed this, Bank holiday. People were outside. Yeah. And I feel like we were so lucky because we actually, again, it's been hot.
